Pat I'm glad that your appointment went well and that you have found someone who is understanding. ((Hugs)). Thank you for the advice re jigsaw rotation. Chicky well done with the wall. Wow, 3D rotation.
Hope you feel better soon Clari.
Catnap I bet that cup of tea tasted good. Just on my third coffee now Joyce. I start on it and stay with it all day. I'll need the boost to get son's holiday washing done and he's even got some shirts that will need i...ing. Wonder if I should leave them for him.
Got to work with my stomach cramping like I've been punched by a brick layer. Luke warm mullered rice however soft and gentle it might look isn't soft and gentle enough.Never mind all I need to do is avoid stress and drink plenty of fluids and...
.... what's that? The other trainer for today has called in sick? Oh bother.
.... Wait what? The other member of staff hasn't turned up leaving you all on your lonesome and being forced to call in a trustee whose trying to organise his fathers funeral on a day where he could REALLY do with not being at the museum? (Legally we need two members of staff in the museum and no one else is answering their phone).
.... Electrical failure on at least two exhibits? Great.
.... Can't print off the maps or session plan because the printer has broken? *Twitch*
.... A volunteer accidentally took home a set of keys so we can't get in the basement if we need some emergency cleaning supplies? No problem!
... For fudge sake! At least the school bus went to the wrong school so on the other side of Sheffield are 60 most annoyed small children no doubt getting more and more hyped up waiting for it to beat its way through the traffic to them before it can sail on to the good ship emergency museum!
I swear to God if you offered this place to a film crew they'd turn it down as being too unrealistic!!
If anyone could nip home and knock off the last of the plaster for me I'd be most grateful. I think I wont be good for much come tonight!
Hugs from me too Busy. Hope you have a good spot for him.
Clari - definitely should have stayed home. I hope you keep a formal note of all these calamities that stop you doing your job properly.
Dove - sounds like you hand a great day out.
This morning started cold and grey after another night time rainfall. decided to stay in and do more sorting and cleaning till it warmed up. Now to get cleaned up myself and go and try a new SM and DIY store. Need some light fittings and what we've seen so far doesn't answer. Sun coming out so dogs will enjoy walkies when we get back.

OH has netted the pond, deconstructed the beans and tomatoes and dug the bean patch over ready for a load of manure which will sit on there for the worms to play with over the winter. I've potted up bulbs, potted on cuttings, planted out hellebores and irises and some other perennials.
I've moved the pots of random plants around (you know the ones I mean, cuttings and seeds that have grown but you've nowhere to plant them - yet) most of them live behind the trellis fence which has the grapevine on it. I started tidying it up but discovered the biggest frog in the world had taken up residence there for the winter, so I quickly put things back where they were and she settled down in her snug corner again.
I've also tidied the little greenhouse ready to overwinter some plants that are on the border-line of being hardy - however, it's not time to put the begonias and dahlias away for the winter - they're still flowering their socks off.
Now the only other jobs left to do are planting the wallflowers - but they're in pots so not urgent, and sowing the broad beans. I would normally do them about now but it's still so mild and I don't want them to make soft and floppy growth, so I'll wait until it's a bit colder before I sow them.
I'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon on the sofa drinking coffee, knitting and resting my shoulder.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I'm going to get out and 'at it' for my three hours tomorrow. . . . still some bulbs and plants to go in plus leaf clearing. Forecast is for a dry, sunny day.
